Just because your opinion or view is in the minority, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. In fact, most people have no opinions or views of their own. They simply regurgitate what their respective authorities have indoctrinated into them. They have outsourced the process of thinking to others because it saves them a huge amount of time and energy.
Thinking is costly in many ways. For one, it requires a lot of metabolic energy — energy that many people choose to spend consuming media that dulls their brains. But most importantly, thinking can get you into a lot of trouble when the conclusions that you reach are inconsistent with and potentially threatening to the ideologies of those who hold power. This is partly why most educational systems don’t teach you how to think but instead teach you how to memorize and follow an orderly schedule. No one likes a know-it-all (informed citizen) who constantly interrupts (questions) the teacher (authority) and the content (propaganda) being presented.
